Description
This finely restored E-Type Series 2 OTS was exported to the United States as new and spent much of its life on the West Coast and even though it was well cared for, time and the environment took their toll.
The car was imported into South Africa in 2009 by a well-known collector in Port Elizabeth (now Gqeberha). In the process of its recommission, it was converted to Right Hand Drive (RHD), but retained its USA specification.
In 2014, the vehicle was acquired into the Parnell Bruce Collection and has benefitted from a full “body off” restoration over a 5-year period between 2017 and 2023. This process has ensured an “all-systems” rebuild including retention of all original components. For safety reasons, some critical elements such as the wiring harness are new.
Jaguars hold an important place in the Parnell Bruce Collection and this E-Type stands alongside a 1966 Series 1 FHC and going back in time, an original 1946 2.5-litre Saloon, two 3.0-litre Saloons that were meticulously restored by the Classique Edge team and a 1954 XK 120 SE FHC.
There are also two replica Jaguars, a 1953 XK 120 C (C-Type) and a 1956 D-Type race car which has competed in the annual Simola Hillclimb in Knysna.
In addition, the collection includes two later Jaguar sports cars — a 1990 XJS V12 Coupe and a 2002 XKR Convertible.
This collection embodies the Grace, Pace and Space of Jaguar’s philosophy.
